7

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising: determining that an exceptional condition exists when a response to the prompt is not received.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: adding to the combined tag and current contents of the message, and the express indication of the exceptional condition, an indication that the exceptional condition exists.

9

9. A mobile device comprising: a processor; and memory coupled to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising: determining, by the mobile device while generating a message, that the message is a partial message; determining at least one type of an exceptional condition from a plurality of types of exceptional conditions, the plurality of types of exceptional conditions consisting of: generation of the message ended prematurely; a time out condition occurred on the mobile device; a response from the mobile device to a prompt was not received; inactivity on the mobile device for a predetermined amount of time; and sequentially repeated characters entered on the mobile device; generating a tag indicative of the at least one type of the exceptional condition and that the message is a partial message; combining the tag with the current contents of the message; and sending the combined tag and current contents of the message.

10

11. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the exceptional condition comprises unintentionally sequentially repeated characters.

12

12. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the exceptional condition comprises sequentially repeated characters being received for a predetermined amount of time.

13

13. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the exceptional condition comprises a number of sequentially repeated characters exceeding a threshold amount of characters.

14

14. The mobile device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising: providing a prompt to determine if an indication of an exceptional condition is intentional.

15

15. The mobile device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising: determining that an exceptional condition exists when a response to the prompt is not received.

16

16. The mobile device of claim 9 , the operations further comprising: adding to the combined tag and current contents of the message, and the express indication of the exceptional condition, an indication that the exceptional condition exists.

17

17. A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising determining, by the mobile device while generating a message, that the message is a partial message; determining at least one type of an exceptional condition from a plurality of types of exceptional conditions, the plurality of types of exceptional conditions consisting of: generation of the message ended prematurely; a time out condition occurred on the mobile device; a response from the mobile device to a prompt was not received; inactivity on the mobile device for a predetermined amount of time; and sequentially repeated characters entered on the mobile device; generating, by the mobile device, a tag indicative of the at least one type of the exceptional condition and that the message is a partial message; combining the tag with the current contents of the message; and sending the combined tag and current contents of the message.

18

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the exceptional condition comprises at least one of: inactivity for the predetermined amount of time; or sequentially repeated characters.

19

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising: providing a prompt to determine if an indication of an exceptional condition is intentional.

20

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , the operations further comprising: adding to the combined tag and current contents of the message, and the express indication of the exceptional condition, an indication that the exceptional condition exists.
